Hi there!!

I just wanted to say I don't think weighing yourself everyday is THAT bad as long as you don't let it get to you. You have to understand that some days are definitely going to be higher than others bc there are so many factors that affect the number on the scale other than actually gaining fat.

I weigh myself every morning first thing and write it down. At the end of the week I average all seven weigh-ins and come up with a number. I do that each week and compare the averages to assess whether I've lost weight or not. I think this is a more accurate method than only weighing weekly, and it allows you to see patterns better such as if you retain water after eating lots of salty foods the day before, if the time of the month affects your weight at all, etc.

Whatever works best for you though is the key. Up until recently I'd weigh myself every Thursday morning and that was it. That worked well too, but I prefer doing it every day and averaging the numbers weekly.

Good luck though! You can definitely do this. It might seem like it'll take forever, but time goes by fast!! Before you know it months will have passed and you will be so happy that you put in the effort that you did.
